A vehicle has a prime mover to propel the vehicle, and a fluid circuit that defines a fluid passage and contains a coolant. The fluid circuit in thermal communication with the prime mover. A camera is positioned to image coolant within the fluid passage. A controller is configured to receive image data from the camera, process the image data to determine a state of the coolant in the fluid circuit, and output an indication to a user regarding the state of the coolant. A method of monitoring a fluid circuit in a vehicle is also provided.
